2014 Book Kaleidoscope- Day 1

Fanda from Fanda Classiclit is hosting the 2014 Book Kaleidoscope. This is a way of summing up the year of reading. :)
There are five days with different prompts for each. For this first day the prompt is Top Five boyfriends/girlfriends.
Well first off... awkward! Secondly... hmmm. I really don't have crushes from literature and I suppose I'm more an Elinor Dashwood in that I would say I "esteem them" and all of the Marianne Dashwoods throw their hands up in despair at such tame and unromantic language but there you are. :) So here are the men I "esteem" in no particular order.

I'm a Marianne Dashwood, but I don't consider the men in books my boyfriends either. :) I assume you've read The Killer Angels since you have read Jeff Shaara? Especially Lee for me too, but in The Killer Angels, also Chamberlain. :)

Yes I have read Killer Angels! It's one of my favorite books and I agree Chamberlain is amazing! He was my favorite when I read Killer Angels but for some reason I wasn't as crazy about him in Gods and Generals. :)

I only know Arthur Clennam, and only remember him as a kind and shy guy who was under his mother's domination. I think he's what we call a quiet hero, not as extravagant as Great Expectations' Pip, but he had his own good qualities. Good choice, Lois! :)

He was definitely a quiet but kind hero. I wouldn't say he was under his mother's domination as though she was a controlling woman he did not allow himself to be controlled by her. He basically kept up what friendly relations he could but refused to involved himself in her questionable work.

I am a young Christian woman seeking to do the will of God in all I say do and think. I love reading, crocheting, Doctor Who and drinking tea. Currently, I work as a nurse in a hospital. I'm recently married and loving it!
